Which of the following complexes has the largest crystal field splitting of the d orbitals? A)CoF₆^3- B)Co(CN)₆^3- C)CoBr₆^3- D)Co(H₂O)₆³⁺ E)CoI₆^3-

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The crystal field splitting of the d orbitals is largest for ligands that are strong field ligands according to the spectrochemical series. Among the given options, cyanide (CN-) is the strongest field ligand, leading to the largest crystal field splitting in the complex Co(CN)6^3-.
